I'm on the master branch and built aerc from source.

When I run aerc, view an email, and search (by pressing /), keybindings
like rr are still active. For example, when I try to search the word
"terrific", the "te" gets typed out and the r's do not. Furthermore,
once I have typed both r's, aerc begins replying to the email.

Notably, this is not an issue when I press / (which is equivalent to
:search) when I am just in my inbox, not viewing any emails.

Hi Dennis,

This is a known issue which has been fixed by this commit:

https://git.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/commit/74366d895d5c

Note that it requires a key bind to activate the pass through mode:

https://git.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/tree/74366d895d5c5cce5c14424926bb5de229894884/item/config/binds.conf#L59

And also it requires a view::passthrough section to allow exiting that
mode:

https://git.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/tree/74366d895d5c5cce5c14424926bb5de229894884/item/config/binds.conf#L78-81

Maybe your configuration does not contain these default binds.

great! I was about to report it also but checked again and found that my
bindings.conf was quite old and missed the required settings. ;-)

Thanks and regards,

Jens

I just have to say it… the quote in the signature is great!
